Default Future Club Training Gliders

Its been said by myself and a couple of others in this thread, but let
me try to rephrase it:

Those of you saying "well it worked for me" are missing the point.
YOU are on the inside, looking out. YOU are one of the rare people
who overcame the obstacles and pitfalls in the current system of
enciting and training new glider pilots. You are NOT one of the
millions of people who have no idea what a sailplane is, or how it
works, or haven't ever given much thought to aviation.

If we're only attracting people who are already interested in flying
gliders, then we're not doing any real recruiting at all; and we
certainly will never grow the sport.

--Noel
